Hi. I am in a very abusive long term relationship. I have left many times but he always finds me and the beatings get worse . I want to go to Florida to start over. My family is there. But i am stuck here. He controls every penny we have. I was wondering if there is a place i could go to get finacial aid. I just need first month rent and gas to drive there. I have a job once i get there. And i will repay what i may receive. If i don’t leave asap I’m going to die!! He has almost killed me more times than i can count. I’m terrified. Also could you please send me any information please on abuse and getting out. I’m in need so bad . Next month maybe to late. Please pray for me to keep me alive long enough to escape and live a normal life. Thank you for listening. I’m embarrassed telling you all this. I’m not telling it all but none of this is a lie God Bless you
